You get the thrill of victory. You get to hold up the coveted Larry O'Brien trophy while Bill Russell waits to hand his eponymous trophy to the best player on the court. You get to celebrate with champagne and plenty of parties afterward, culminating in a sure-to-be-epic parade.

And, if you're the Miami Heat, you get to hold training camp in the Bahamas.

The two-time defending champion Miami Heat will hold training camp in the Bahamas next week.

It's either going to shroud the Heat's top-secret plans for the 2013-14 campaign in secrecy. They're where the media can't touch them anymore, so they can party practice without the constant glare of cameras and the clicking of smartphones distracting them.

Then again, it could have the exact opposite effect.

If the Internet is slow, it's because the 78,029 people who cover the Heat are booking flights for Bahamas on Monday.

I don't think Bleacher Report knows this yet, but I'm trying to become a full-time Heat beat reporter. Can we make this happen? My calendar is already cleared for however long training camp is going to take (and please let it last well into the season).

While their roster is already pretty much finalized (Greg Oden and Michael Beasley are the enduring question marks), it doesn't hurt to work on strategies and shoring up weaknesses.

If the Heat had announced this even earlier, perhaps the roster wouldn't be finalized, though. Plenty of free agents would be flocking to South Beach, waiting for an opportunity to take a nice vacation trip to training camp.
